About Donvale Early Learning Centre
Established in 1996, Donvale Early Learning Centre has been providing quality care for over 25 years in an inclusive, multicultural and diverse environment.
Our highly qualified and experienced team provides best practice education focused on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics).
For many children this will be their first time away from family and they need to feel secure in their new surroundings. Our educators work closely with parents to ensure a happy and smooth transition. We pride ourselves on the quality of our care and the warm learning environment we provide.
A Highly Qualified Team
We have 5 Bachelor and Master degree-qualified staff across the management and teaching team. Our staff participate in regular networking and professional training courses to ensure your children benefit from the most relevant teaching practices.
3 and 4 Year Old Funded Kindergarten Programs
Our 3 and 4 year old funded kindergarten programs are delivered for 37.5 hours each week (well above the 15 hours per week standard) to provide more time for progressive play-based learning experiences that prepare children for the school years ahead.
Bilingual Kindergarten Program
As the language of choice voted by the majority of parents, we deliver a Bilingual Kindergarten program for children in the 4 year old kindergarten room for 12 hours each week. In addition to embracing the multicultural community that we operate in, learning an additional language can also help to improve children’s cognitive flexibility and problem-solving skills.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My child has been at Donvale Early Learning Center for over a year, and we’re very happy with the experience. The meals are nutritious and well-balanced — every day has a thoughtful variety. The teachers are all very kind and genuinely care about the children. They always notice small changes in my child’s mood and communicate with me at pick-up. We also love the Chinese Program. My child had never learned Chinese before but has now recognized many characters and learned a lot about Chinese culture.

I’m very glad that my child has spent over two years at Donvale Early Learning Centre. The greatest benefit has been the bilingual environment. My child used to be reluctant to speak Chinese, but with our encouragement and the support of the teachers, there has been significant improvement in their Chinese language
